After review and approval, a Notice of Award (NoA) will be prepared and processed, along with appropriate notification to the public. Initial awards provide funds for the first budget period (usually 12 months) and the NoA will indicate support recommended for the remainder of the project period, allocation of Federal funds by budget categories, award requirements, and special conditions, if any.

All applications will be initially reviewed for eligibility and completeness by the Office of
Grants Services. Complete applications will be reviewed for responsiveness by Grants
Management Officials and Program Officials. Non-responsive applications will not advance to
Phase II review. Applicants will be notified that their applications did not meet eligibility and/or
published submission requirements.
